FIA WEC

FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)

A partnership between the FIA and the ACO, the World Endurance Championship is the pinnacle of global sportscar racing and offers the drivers the chance to be crowned as world champions - something sure to bring the top names in the sport into the championship as already proven with Mark Webber in 2014 and the likes of Nico Hulkenberg in 2015.

The surprise departure of Porsche from LMP1 mid-way through the 2017 season lead the WEC to announce a radical plan for 2018/19 - a "Super Season" of 8 races culminating in the 2019 24 hours of Le Mans.

The 2018/19 FIA WEC "Super Season" features eight rounds - five in Europe, one in North America and two in Asia. In addition, "The Prologue" is held at Circuit Paul Ricard in the South of France in April.

At Speed Chills, our focus is on the European and North American action starting with Spa in May and the 24 hours of Le Mans in June before the trip across the pond to Sebring, Florida.

For the Total 6 hours of Spa-Francorchamps we are offering self-drive hotel and guest house packages. This is one of our favourite events of the year - the trip is worth it just to see this fantastic circuit. Add to that some of the most beautiful racing cars in the world and the desire of the teams to win ahead of 'the big one' at Le Mans and you see why this is an event not to be missed.

The 24 hours of Le Mans needs no introduction. LMP1 will look totally different in 2018, gone are the major manufacturers but in come great names like Ginetta who offer the potential of a British car winning Le Mans! LMP2 promises to be an amazing battle and BMW going Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche and Corvette in GTE Pro means this class will be super competitive.. We offer a full range of self-drive packages covering on-circuit or off-circuit camping (including our Private Camping options) as well as hotels and self-catering accommodation.

March 2019 sees a must see event for all sportscar fans with 24 hours of world class prototype and GT racing across two championships. Sebring International Raceway plays host to both the IMSA Twelve Hours of Sebring and the 1000 Miles of Sebring. We are offering fly-drive and hotel packages to this amazing weekend.
